Born of a dream and deep longing for an end to violence against women Steady. Against the Absurd. Kinship at the Core is a richly lyrical poem of place our earth and a poem of deep witness suffused with sorrow beauty and tenderness brought to us by a woman of two worlds whose deep insights and voice sing as she invites us into a place for peace.The original poem is accompanied by a fine translation Sans relâche. Contre l'absurde. Corps et âme which allows the quiet but deep sense of kinship to reverberate fully from Taylor's initial English-speaking culture to her adopted French-speaking culture.
